Chapter Twenty-Eight: Play Bigger

In the day's battle, the new regiment eliminated about seven or eight hundred devils, while the independent regiment was not bad, about five hundred devils were eliminated, and more than a thousand devils were killed in total.

You must know that the Japanese army, a wing, is also a formation of about 5,000 people, and a quarter of it was knocked out at once, and the impact on morale was also quite large.

Of course, the two regiments of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie of the Eighth Route Army also had some casualties, but they were much better than the devils, Li Yunlong probably lost more than 200 people on his side, and Kong Jie lost more than 300 people on his side.

This is a one-to-two exchange ratio, which can be said to be very good, except for Li Yunlong, who has fought better before, other troops of the Eighth Route Army have not fought such a good battle, Kong Jie is also the first time, and now he feels the benefits of weapons and equipment.

This time, the Japanese army came to reinforce two wings, and the leader was Saburo Ono, the commander of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese army.

The 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army is an elite unit of the Japanese Army, with an organization of nearly 10,000 people, and there are two infantry wings below, equipped with heavy firepower, such as dozens of field artillery, as well as a lot of grenadiers and other equipment.

This time Ono Saburo is also ambitious, he wants to annihilate Li Yunlong's new regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment, in terms of the number of personnel on both sides, it is about the same, but don't forget, there is a wing in front, which was not eliminated by Li Yunlong and them, so in general, there are more devils.

And now Ono Saburo's brigade has come prepared, and the morale is high, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, the two regiments, have been fighting for a day, not only have a lot of casualties, but the soldiers are very tired.

So as long as nothing goes wrong, Ono Saburo's ambition is indeed possible.

Ono Saburo doesn't believe that the Eighth Route Army will be so strong, what heavy firepower is stronger than the Imperial Army, this is impossible, even if there is, then he is not afraid, because he is also very strong in heavy firepower, it is impossible to even compare with a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

It's a pity that Ono Saburo was wrong this time, because the current Eighth Route Army is not the Eighth Route Army he fought before, it is really a shotgun for artillery, especially the new regiment, and the equipment is stronger than Ono Saburo's brigade as a whole.

Liujia Village is a small village, but because it is in the fighting area, many villagers have already fled.

However, there are still some villagers who did not run, after all, this is where their ancestors have lived for generations.

Now there are only a few hundred people in this village, and when the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army arrived here, the dogs in the village barked one after another, and they also felt the arrival of the devils, which was very terrifying and murderous.

When the villagers saw that the devil was coming, they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid in the house and pulled the dog in.

You must know that where the little devil passes, even the dog will not stay.

So it's terrible, it's just that the villagers didn't expect that these devils didn't stop, robbing them of their things, and killing people, but they saw that these devils were still marching neatly, and none of them ran to the side to do bad things.

The devils marched fast, and it was true that they were in a hurry, so they didn't have the time to grab anything.

Some women and children hid in their cellars, and only a few elderly people were in the house, peeking outside.

Because everyone knows that the little devil is too cruel, even a child will not let it go, especially those little girls who have not yet reached adulthood, if this is caught by the devil, it will be ruined.

The villagers were extremely nervous, for fear that the devils would disperse and come to the village to rob.

It's just that these devils didn't mean to rob, so they quickly ran forward without any delay, and after a while, a large army of thousands of people drove away.

The villagers are very strange, what is going on this time, the devil has not done evil.

But they soon guessed that these devils were definitely going to fight the Eighth Route Army, and they were all rushing to die.

Ono Saburo, seeing the people in this village, was so scared that none of them came out, and his heart was still very cool, in front of the Imperial Army of Japan, these people were like chickens, and now they just don't have time, if they have time, they must have a good time.

Thinking of this, Saburo Ono couldn't help but tremble, this was because he was so excited!

It's not just Ono Saburo who thinks so, but those devils are thinking that after this battle is over, we must go and sweep these villages, snatch all the women from those branches, and have a good time, those flower girls in China are really good.

After the devils left, the villagers rushed out one after another, and they talked a lot.

"The little devil left in such a hurry, it looks like there is a big battle to fight, I hope our Eighth Route Army can eliminate all the little devils who have been killed by heaven, don't let them come to harm our people again!"

"It's difficult, the little devil is so strong, our Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, and we can't eat enough, I'm afraid that the little devil will come back this time!"

The devils are continuing to march, and they will reach the battlefield before dawn.

At this time, after getting the devil's reinforcements, after the news of the rapid march to the battlefield, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also quickly made a defense, just waiting for the devil to come in.

According to the current intelligence, the time when the devil arrived at the battlefield was just dawn, so it was still advantageous for the Eighth Route Army, because the devil would definitely be more tired after a night of rapid marching, and the Eighth Route Army could have a good rest tonight, and Xu Rui could wait for work tomorrow.

Of course, we have to guard against it, the little devil sneaks up or something, so Li Yunlong still arranges sentinels everywhere, as long as the enemy situation is found, then he must immediately enter the battle.

This time, Li Yunlong sent the second battalion to set up an ambush on the road where the devil's reinforcements must pass, and when the time comes, the battle will be enough for the little devil to drink a pot of wine.

Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the second battalion, took a thousand people to the place where the ambush was set up, which was a valley with hills on both sides, and it was very steep.

Of course, it is impossible to completely annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army, after all, they only have one battalion of troops, only one-tenth of the devil's strength.

But in this way, the little devils can be pinned down so that their two armies can converge.

At that time, the third battalion will also join the battle and give the little devil a heavy position.

This time the devil's march was very urgent, and Ono Saburo despised the Eighth Route Army, so he was not afraid that he would not get in.

After the ambush was made, he waited for the devil to arrive.
